A church which rose from the ashes of a bombed out city symbolises hope and belief that humanity can transcend horror and violence God can heal lives, the Anglican Archbishop of Wales has told a special civic service in Swansea.

The head of the Anglican Church in Wales, Dr Barry Morgan, says that the Easter Gospel means “joining in God’s recreation of the world”. In addition to global injustice and violence, he highlights the suffering of women and gay people in the church.
